RUSSELL WATSON

-

Russell is one of the world’s greatest classical singers and has famously been described as a performer “who sings like Pavarotti and entertains the audience like Sinatra”.

His career began when he found success as the winner of a local radio talent competitio­n. Since then, he has gone on to release 10 albums, as well as performing for the likes of the Queen, the late Duke of Edinburgh, Prince Charles and even the late Pope John Paul II, who requested a private audience with the singer.

When he’s not performing, he’s also a patron for a plethora of charities and has raised millions of pounds for The Prince’s Trust, the Katy Holmes Trust and The Kirsty Club.
